  • LordAce187 GoingBabyOnBaby (@LordAce187) reported

    @youthfvl_ @Mikeyyyzz @OWCavalry That’s crazy you defaulted to straight white person when talking about overwatch 💀 I think you might be the problem

  • laladevichan Lala Sabathil (@laladevichan) reported

    Overwatch: "We'll fix our match making" YOU ******* NOT, IT'S EVEN WORSE I hate this game more and more. Like honestly wtf is that. Even ranked is more casual than the actual casual unranked modes -.-

  • SageyCakez SageyCakez🏳️‍⚧️ (@SageyCakez) reported

    Blizzard y’all really need to get your Overwatch competitive team to fix matchmaking because if I’m facing Mei players all day and have a guy running DVa into Mei/Zarya/Moira comps then something is broken cause a plat player should know that DVa loses that every time 💀

  • Hog1Trick Bill Atkinson (@Hog1Trick) reported

    @FrozenHiro @ShinMadero Dota and League both have the issue and I’ve heard it may be starting with Valorant, but those Mobas have had a way longer into their lifespan so far and 4x the number of characters. When Overwatch has a pretty barren cast bloated kits shouldn’t be happening yet

  • SkylarHusky Skylar Husky 🔜 FWA 2023! (@SkylarHusky) reported

    Been having internet issues, big lag spikes at night causing disconnects from games like Destiny 2 and Overwatch. So VR Chat might be out of the question until a tech can come out, which will be on Friday. Ugh :(

  • Strawburryjules Jules 🇹🇹🏳️‍🌈🏳‍⚧ BUY DEADENDIA 1 and 2 (@Strawburryjules) reported

    @BIGCATBI Too many of them justify it by saying, "Its not the fault of the overwatch team" or "This could be any company" come on. When its lawsuit after lawsuit there is an obvious problem. Now the OWL is being sued so i really hope they stop and see the picture.

  • CandyTrixterwcs CandyTrixter||Vtuber||Artist||PreDEBUT (@CandyTrixterwcs) reported

    @PlayOverwatch Ummm When are you gonna fix the neon glitches on the switch version of Overwatch 2? It was never like this on Overwatch 1. I feel bad for those who have light sensitivity and can't see where the hell they are going because of this. #Overwatch2 #Fixoverwatch2

  • blazeuh Blaesa (@blazeuh) reported

    @Snnowmann the problem with overwatch is it's so complicated and different game to game that it makes it hard to just assign a rank/# to a player and have it mean something significant. but they should at least try to make master and gm more prestigious like immortal/radiant is in valorant

  • taucetiofficial tau💫 (@taucetiofficial) reported

    its obvious what theyre doing but im having trouble putting it into words. like its less risky to introduce a brand new character whos outwardly gay than it is to let existing gay characters who are public representations of overwatch express their gayness

  • SenorSzyslak Pacho (@SenorSzyslak) reported

    Anyone else having problems with the overwatch 2 servers?

  • princesspolygon Polygon Princess (@princesspolygon) reported

    I just had 3 people on an enemy Overwatch team in competitive disconnect...damn

  • reyesmilk 🔞maximilien's forehead💛🤍💜🖤 (@reyesmilk) reported

    I think ppl are justified thinking that the pull ability might be used for griefing, because overwatch players are notoriously unfunny like that. I mean, people still get mei-walled in spawn in the year 2023. but imho I don't think it's gonna be that big of a problem

  • bachii_ow bachii (@bachii_ow) reported

    The problem with overwatch isnt the matchmaking, isnt the competitive setting, isnt the character comps. Its the ******* players. Im tired of being put down as a human being for playing a ******* video game. "swap off genji pls?" "stfu retard" what a enjoyable community .

  • BradleyDJ1 BradleyDJ/Zeph ROAD TO EVO (@BradleyDJ1) reported

    I installed Paladins cuz I wanted to play Overwatch without playing Overwatch. Overwatch 2 does not convince me to play that game and it is because of you getting heroes locked behind a season pass. Even if they did fix that it is very dumb to continue playing cuz it is Overwatch

  • BenjiCake Kamen Rider Benji Cake (@BenjiCake) reported

    at first i thought the overwatch 2 annoucement to cover up the hong kong drama was funny idea, but like blizzard keeps announcing **** after everytime they get in trouble so its either a wild coincidence or they have a vault of ready to go content

  • gay4mozart 🇰🇷 general cho 🇰🇷 ~ b*nd x8 ~ i condone (@gay4mozart) reported

    I dont have a problem with femboys, but overwatch is taking it too far this time

  • FunRageDie MoldyNugget カビの生えたナゲット (@FunRageDie) reported

    @infrarogue89 Diablo again with diablo immortal , overwatch 2 and how they handled its release and mircotransations and stuffnlike thst and if I recall world of warranty keeps having issues (world of war classic) .

  • BowTiedCrow BowTiedCrow (@BowTiedCrow) reported

    @BowTiedCaiman The fact overwatch has any votes has me concerned and points to a larger societal problem.

  • _Extol_ 🍁Extol🍁 (@_Extol_) reported

    @BlizzardCS Fix my career profile along with many, many others. We’ve been more than patient and we deserve to at least get some kind of response. Overwatch 2 is great but you’re currently screwing over a bunch of veteran players.

  • T3mNat T3m (@T3mNat) reported

    @NiJeul @nzsonleo @Matty_OW Then what are you complaining about? Lol, the issue was that people don’t like heroes that arent aim intensive, yet overwatch has had heroes like that since the beginning but didn’t start disliking it until dps moiras came a out and started ******* on low rank players.

  • HannyahZ Hannyah (@HannyahZ) reported

    One thing overwatch does really well is it has some magical lag cloaking. I play in US servers regularly and even though i have high ping i don't notice it while playing. Now that doesn't mean lag is still not there its apparent in kill cams but gameplay itself is seamelss.

  • _tamagopann eggy (@_tamagopann) reported

    huhh im so confused cause i can play genshin and valorant with no problem but when i try overwatch it wont work?? hellooo???

  • SavedMyEggs SavedMyEggs (@SavedMyEggs) reported

    new overwatch character isnt as broken as i thought but sill looks goated and **** pull we dont need more immortality

  • korkvay คอควาบ (@korkvay) reported

    tbh things that e overwatch dev should do is fixing ur ranking system it can’t fix itself ja

  • Natasha_Leah_C Tasha-Leah (@Natasha_Leah_C) reported

    @OverwatchEU hi there, there were connection issues on Overwatch and my broadband. I got kicked twice and a suspension from the game. Is there anyway to have the suspension removed as if I accidentally disconnect, the suspension will be longer. This isn't my fault.

  • AratakiTheOne ➻Aʀᴀтᴀκι Iттo. (@AratakiTheOne) reported

    @NickAndBalls @PopcorpGFX I played Overwatch even before Doomfist was a thing and stuns were not the problem.

  • XurPlays Devvvv. (@XurPlays) reported

    @virginmedia Guys, I just managed 4 mins of an Overwatch 2 game! Amazing service for the broadband prices I'm paying.

  • ComposerPhantom PhantomComposer (@ComposerPhantom) reported

    Lifeweaver is even more broken than Ram and Kiriko were in their initial states. Playing OW is gonna be a mother ******* nightmare. He can negate entire ults and environmental kills with his abilities, AND he doesn’t need to aim to heal? Where’s the skill needed? #Overwatch

  • Kahnics Kahnics (@Kahnics) reported

    @BlizzardCS I have been falsely banned in overwatch can I talk to anyone to help get this issue resolved.

  • AngelicAlexie Alice Angelica!! 🔞📚🪶 VTUBER (@AngelicAlexie) reported

    also for clarification no i don't actually believe they have things set aside JUST for the sake of release in a controversy. Blizzard doesn't have good practices over all and they're always in trouble. The coincidence of releases is just insane to watch. insane to OVERWATCH
